Thanks again Mike, Just before the house is listed a Victoria Place so I think maybe you are right there :)

Once again you've come up trumps Mike, thanks for that, brilliant :)

Astonian, as always your wealth of knowledge has once again floored me, absolutely amazing and had helped me no end, that information is priceless, thank you so much for that you are a real diamond :) The number i am interested in is a court back of 61 Stour Street, so what end of the street...

Thanks for that Dave i'll have a look threw it now :)

Dave thanks for that, some great pictures on there, i need to find out what churches were in that area :)

Martha was a bit like that, but theN had the remaining family not thought she was Welsh and born in Wales it would have made things easier... she was from Gloucester, I got her Marriage certificate and after 3 hours with a cousin of a cousin on GR he found her, she'd also said she was 19 when...

Has anyone a map of Stour Street please, listed in 1901 as being under Rotton Park, Edgbaston area, would like to see the surrounding area and maybe find what church(s) would have been local to there please, many thanks :)

Not so far they haven't lol Took me two years to find Nanny Martha as noone really knew much about her, now i have a pic of her house :) just need someone who knew of her and find out more about her, that would really make my day :)

Be good if i could find someone who actually rememebers them now :)

Great pics Lyn, hard to imagine it looked like that if you look at it now, so different today.

When i have been to Birmingham Library i have not needed a card to view the Micro Fiches, the staff are very helpful and will show you to the catalogues where you can find out where the records you need are held, if the records are in the archives then you need a card, issuable on the day...

It sure is, as always Mike comes up trumps, what would we do without him Thanks Mike x

Wow that's brilliant Bordesley, can't wait to get my hands on them.. I knew one was a bit of a rogue as he was in the local police station the night of a census, he died a few years later, I am intrigued to know now if it was in prison lol

I've just been looking on there and there is nothing for him even tho i have a copy of the newspaper article, i did find however quite a lot for his wifes family, including the gaol records for two of her cousins hehe that is going to make interesting reading when i order those hehe

Thanks for that Bordesley, will be checking that out now....i only have scant info as it was sent to me by someone i matched with on GR, hopefully i can find more, it's so difficult when it isn't on your doorstep like Brum :)

Hi Maggie thanks for that, poor old sole, this was back in about 1876, he was drunk apparently, left no note just did it out of the blue in his 70's, I just find it very strange. You would have thought considering most religions preach forgiveness, that they would show some compassion, doesn't...

This is an interesting query, my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather commited suicide, was shocking to learn, although from what i read of the newspaper report on the inquest I have my doubts, I haven't found where he's buried yet as it's Gloucester so need to travel there to inquire, but it would be...

Thats ok Peter, it does get a little confusing at times, I do it myself lol

Timothy and Hannah were the parents of the Ephraim that was christened, they had 10 other children including a Thomas, so it looks like those names were family names.
